Chapter 685- Good Boy (2)

Chapter 685- Good Boy (2)

What was going on? The onlooking audience held their breath, their eyes wide with a mix of surprise and confusion. Not sure of what to make out of the scene.

The one sided carnage that they expected, did not happen instead the little girl dodged and weaved through the attacks of the Giga minotaur in a spectacular fashion as if this was not the Ritual of Blades, but a bullfight.

They couldn't understand how such a little girl was able to keep up for so long against an opponent like the Giga Minotaurs without any fear or panic.

It needs to be mentioned that against an opponent like the Giga Minotaurus, even the demon dukes would have trouble facing it. Forget about dodging its attacks as seamlessly as the girl, they would have to go all out just to remain standing in the arena.

That is why, the scene unfolding before them, the figure of the little girl bravely facing the Giga minotaurus more than ten times her size, represented a dichotomy, something that was inconceivable for them at first.

The audience were shocked; however, the most shocked out of them all was the Demon Duke who was called as the father of the Minotaurus, Duke Arctuarus himself.

At this moment, his face was no longer as calm as before, replaced by a solemn look. He had sent his most powerful subordinate Minos up to the arena to swiftly end the battle and destroy whatever plan Oswell was hatching.

To that end, he did not even give Minos any instructions, and basically gave the other a free reign to rampage to their heart's content. This decision of his was taken even at the risk of divulging the strength of his subordinate in front of the whole demon kind. A loss that he was willing to incur as long as he can snip Oswell's plan.

However, contrary to his expectations, the battle that should have ended long ago, was still continuing. The other party continued to dodge Minos' attacks one after the other.

'Snort, I don't know what your motive is Oswell. However, if you think that you can use the Demon Earl to lay claim to a land that I desire, is your wishful thinking. That little girl might be very swift and agile, however, Minos only needs one good hit to finish this farce once and for all'

Arctaurs thought internally. Given the Giga Minotaurus' raw strength that generated powerful gales with every swing of his, it was only natural to assume that it was game over for the little girl if it ever connected.

Heck, it might be game over for many of the demons below the demon duke here. That was how powerful the Giga Minotaurus was. What's more the latter had yet to show its true strength.

Arctaurus believed that his subordinate had the overwhelming advantage in this matchup and this cat and mouse chase will soon be over. However little did he know that the mouse here was not the little girl, but the Giga Minotaurus instead.

Though by the time he would realise that it would already be too late.

BANG.. BANG… The battle raged on, a dance of titans, as the Minotaurus swung its massive battle axe in sweeping arcs, attempting to cleave through its puny opponent, it devastated the entire stage and bent the barrier out of shape.

? ? ?, ? ? ? ? ?

It was clear that even the barrier set up by the demon lord himself, was unable to endure the powerful aftershocks of the Giga Minotaurs attacks. Yet facing that attack head on, the little girl looked the least bit fazed as she gracefully evaded each strike, moving with uncanny agility and supernatural speed.

However, the most astonishing moment that baffled everyone was when the little girl retaliated. Everybody thought that given her small frame and uncanny movement ability, she was only good at dodging with most of her stats focused on agility.

However shattering everyone's misconception, when she retaliated with lightning-fast strikes, her movements like a blur of calculated precision. Each blow landed with pinpoint accuracy, sapping the Minotaurus's strength and stamina and sending it crashing back against the barrier.

SHATTER… against Maybell's might, even the barrier meant to contain the aftershocks of their battle, shattered like a fragile peace of glass.

'What?' Belial shocked by the incredulous turn of events, widened his eyes. It was not only him, all the other high ranking demons were also so.

The scene where the Giga Minoutaurus would be the one to be sent flying never occurred to them. And so for a moment there, they couldn't believe their eyes.

How was it possible for a little girl like her to send a monster of a beast like the Giga Minotaurus flying? As absurd as the turn of that this was just the beginning, Maybell walked towards the area where the Minotaurus had crashed and started another round of events may be, the truth was as what they witnessed.

However, the absurd scene was yet to end. As if telling everyone that this was just the beginning, Maybell walked towards the area where the Minotaurus had crashed and started another round of bashing.

But of course, how could the Giga Minotaurus take it lying down? Its crimson eyes enraged by the beating it suffered, glowed even crimson for some reason. And thus, a chaotic battle erupted in the middle of the venue.

The two champions duelling each other in the Ritual of the Blades, now made the entire venue their battleground. The powerful shockwaves generated from their clash turned the entire place upside down with damage and destruction spreading everywhere onto this once ancient and grand venue.

Some demons turned to flee, scared that they would get caught up in the aftermath others watched the whole spectacle with intrigue and trepidation.

"Belial, work with me to create another barrier around them" At this moment, when the entire gathering got caught in between the devastating clash of the two, the Demon Archduke Gareth unable to sit still, got up from his seat and approached Belial.

Together, they created another barrier far more powerful than before and only then, did the aftershocks from the battle die down.

The demons who took to flight, also settled down and landed back in the venue. After which they continued to observe the battle between the two contrasting figures, entranced by the illusion of a fierce clash.

That's right, unbeknownst to them, every strike and manoeuvre carried out by the Minotaurus was carefully choreographed under the control of the Antediluvian Ancestor.

Even the Giga Minotaurus did not know that it had fallen victim to a powerful mind control, and its seemingly valiant efforts were nothing more than a puppetry of Maybell's will.

Her manipulations continued, orchestrating the battle like a macabre symphony. The Giga Minotaurus stumbled, its movements uncoordinated and disjointed, yet still managing to maintain the facade of a formidable opponent.

The audience, enraptured by the spectacle, remained oblivious to the true nature of the battle, their collective gasps and cheers fueling the Vampire Ancestor's charade.

With each passing moment, Myabell's power over the mind-controlled Minotaurus grew stronger. Her commands echoed through the Minotaurus's mind, bending its will to his own.

Like a docile and obedient pet, the Minotaurus followed the vampire's every directive, its movements no longer driven by its own instincts but rather by the vampire's desires.

Maybell revelling in her triumph passed a subtle glance towards her master. This act from her was to gain his praise and show Simon that she had completed the task she had been given.

"This girl… did she really hear what I said?" with a wry smile on his face, Simon observed the battle unfolding in front of him.

Despite all of his warnings and instructions, the girl really did what she set out to do, make a pet out of the Minotaurus. Although she did maintain the facade of a fierce battle, the purpose of the fight, which was to make it look like she had obtained victory with a stroke of luck and that the battle could have ended in the victory of any side, was ruined.

With Maybell sending the Giga Minotaurus flying, she made every demon noble present in the venue curious about her. Simon could hear many of the demons discussing what race and level the girl fighting the minotaurus was.

Of course, all of their attempts to pry on her status were met with failure since her level was higher than theirs and that she possesses a strong blocking skill. But even then, the publicity that she got, could have been avoided or minimised had she stuck to the plan.

"Haha, Simon you crafty fellow. You are really a wolf in sheep's clothing. Whoever underestimated you, is sure to end up worse" Oswell commented from the side.

He who had spent some time with the twins, had a feeling that they were strong. Plus seeing the unfazed look on Simon since the start of the battle, he had been suspecting this for a while but now after seeing that spectacle, he was sure of his hypothesis.

The twins were more powerful than the Giga Minotaurus. Oswell was inwardly a little shocked.
